It's a Big Big World

There's a new show on PBS called "It's a Big Big World." It features a character named Snook who is a tree sloth. When he talks, he sounds really laid back -- I guess because of the sloth thing -- but to me, he sounds like he's been smoking weed. This is an observation I couldn't share with my children so I thought I'd share it with you.

Yesterday I had a blow-out on the way to pick up Julia from school. Thankfully I had made it into our neighborhood, so I drove the Suburban as far as I thought I should and then parked it, put Jenna in her stroller and walked to Julia's school. Julia had already had a bad day with "the mean substitute" (on the days they have this sub, all the usually good kids end up moving their clips. Hmmm...) so when I told her we had to walk all the way home (almost a mile), she didn't take it too well. My husband, who I like to refer to as SuperChad, came home and changed the tire. I'm just glad the tire didn't blow out that morning, while I was taking four little girls to their respective schools.

The day got better when we met my dad at Cracker Barrel for dinner. He had spent a couple of days in Beaumont and was on his way back through town.

Today I'm meeting my best Baytown girlfriend Lois at the Starbucks in Target. Lois, Starbucks and Target -- three of my favorite things all at the same time! Life doesn't get much better.

DO YOU REALIZE THAT GLOBAL BAZAAR IS NOT A SECTION IN TARGET ANYMORE?!!!! RUN DEANA, RUN! I FOUND OUT ONLY LAST NIGHT AND FRANTICALLY PUSHED THROUGH THE CLEARANCE AISLES TO SEE WHAT WAS LEFT. OH, THE HUMANITY!

About Me

I'm a wife, mom and writer. I'm a Texan who just happens to live in Little Rock, Arkansas. I love watching my children when they're sleeping. I love rock music way too much. My husband is the most incredible blessing God has given me. I eat right out of the ice cream carton when no one's around.
